Magnetic Fields

 Using the @pascoscientific magnetic field probe along with the smartcart or a rotation sensor to get a reading of the magnetic field strength as the probe moves further into different magnetic fields

Globaslisation

 A level Business Studies—Globalisation The Earth is becoming smaller, and it is often cheaper to move manufacturing items around the world to be constructed than to do them in the same country. Maybe Trump will change the way the world works.

Youngs doble slit experiment

​Exploring wave-particle duality with my A-level Physics students. Doing experiments demonstrating light behaving like a wave and also acting as particles – it’s hurts the brain how the universe plays by both rules!

 

Infection Games

 Playing an infection game to simulate the growth of an infection in a population, and then repeating the game using vaccination to see the effect this has on the rate of an infection. 

Flowcharts

 ​Teaching flowcharting is key to writing better computer programs!  It helps the students visualize logic, simplifies problem-solving, and boosts code clarity. Perfect for beginners to understand the flow and structure before diving into code.

Using a calorimeter.

 I find that many students have not used a colorimeter or even what one looks like. Their idea of an entropy experiment is to heat a beaker of water, not considering heat loss. Comparing two experiments, we had a difference of hundreds of Joules.

Circle to a sine wave

 Using a Lego model to convert a circular motion into a sine wave to demonstrate the relationship between the trig functions and the circle.
